To stop the cooking, put the carrots in cold water.
During cooking, mix together the ingredients for the marinade and place it in an airtight container.
Once cooked, place the cooled carrots in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

Prepare the pizza dough

In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.
Meanwhile, mix together the wheat starch, Metamucil, salt and baking powder.
When the yeast is activated, add oil to the mix. Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Pour the liquid ingredients. Mix well. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
Place in an oiled bowl and let rise for 25-30 minutes with humidity (Heat a cup of water in the microwave oven, it creates the perfect humid place to let the dough rise).
